Simplicity
Oh how I yearn for thee
Time to merely be
Stop running to and fro
Less activity by saying NO.
Simplicity
Oh, please set me free
To live a natural me.
To rest, to relax,
To know no worry.
Simplicity
Like the rooted tree,
A simple key,
Which opens the door
To so much more
Of who I really long to be.
Simplicity
Like the gentle, expansive sea
Can I rest in your waters?
And sway to your decree?
As in a hammock with its crocheted edges enfolding me.
Simplicity
Can I learn to release attachments
My squeeze on life – the hold
Please guide me to the people and places
Where I can allow my full life to unfold.
Simplicity
Of time and endless appointments
All man-made, yet surreal
What if for once my calendar lay empty,
What would this reveal?
Ah for the life of simplicity
Where nothing can dare hide
Where bare truth can confide
Where peace and love reside.
